Virgin Islands, British | Aged | 40% ABV
Pusser’s British Navy Rum 15-Year is a blend of five rums from Jamaica, Guyana, Trinidad and Barbados which are produced in mainly wooden pot stills. The blend is aged for 15 years.
The company derives its name from the British Navy 'Purser' who distributed a daily 'tot' of rum ration to each sailor - a tradition which lasted from 1655 until 1970. In 1979 Charles Tobias obtained the rights to blend the original recipe of the British Navy Rum.
Pusser's British Navy Rum is casually known as “Nelson’s Blood” as a nod to the famous death of Admiral Nelson. After being mortally wounded in a naval battle in 1805, Nelson’s body was preserved in a barrel of rum.

This rum is smooth and sweet. The colour is dark golden and the taste as well

Bought this for the decanter. A powerful, warming dry rum with loads of oak timber and whisky like characteristics. Not the kind of rum I like to drink straight. I would mix this instead. The 1 litre yachting decanter is a piece of art though.

A perfect rum for sailing, and i like that little classic punch/rum like taste in it which i barely find in any high-end sipping rum.

This rum for me is a best balanced rum I ever had, perfect harmony of sweetness and full body, lot of flavours, not overly sweet, strong enough, different with every sip, just loved it
this is a navy rum like it should be. strong but also sweet. it's good to have it.

Nice blend of various rums from the Caribbean to give this exquisite rum all the nuances of a fine sipper. Moderately priced for a rum agree as long as this rum is. Flavorful and complex with no harsh aftertaste, burn or funky flavors to degrade the enjoyability of sipping this rum neat.

Would give a higher rating if not for the fact it has been sweetened. Still pleasant sipping experience. Not a mixer at all.

It would feel disrespectful to use this as a mixer as it has a beautiful blend of flavours - well earns it place at the top of the Pusser's range!

A good quality rum.
As mentioned in other reviews this rum is sweetened but I like it....a lot.
It is a bit harsh on the nose but the taste is great. The flavours remind me of Ron Millonario xo.

I'm in complete harmony with the analysis of Da'rum from Germany: This rum is sweet with a strong touch of vanilla and a very long woody finish.
I presume that the woody fnish is the reason why some people do not like this rum, mainly people enjoying sweet rums. I must admit that I've hesitated between 8 and 9 ... Compared to its equivalent 15 years El Dorado Special Reserve for example, I find this rum a bit less complex and fruity.
My ideal rating would have been an 8.5 because it is superior to the Clement Vieux 6 yo agricole rum (rated 8) with which I discovered the world of aged rums.
I completely agree with the advice of Scott T considering the rating of Verner Canatsey: This should never have been so much underrated. My biigest disappointment with an extra old rum was about the Diplomatico Reserva rum (6 yo, rated 6) which is definitely very dry, slightly astringent, very tannic with notes of spices, predominantly pepper ... Verner, never try this one ^^!
